Which is the best food for the brain according to scientists.

When it comes to your brain, scientists have found that there is no better food than a book.

Recent findings suggest that children under the age of six who read books with their parents several times a week show stronger literacy skills four years later, have better results in intelligence tests and find better jobs than those who do not read.

But recent studies suggest that reading can be equally important at adulthood. When practiced throughout life, the skills of reading and embezzlement can support healthy brain function in various ways. Simply put, the power of words increases the power of the brain.

To understand why and what each of us can do to make the most of our words, start by asking the same question as the Yale team asked:

“What is special about reading books that increase the power of our brain?” The chapters of the book encourage deepen by reading”. When you establish a relationship, your brain does so, literally creating new paths between areas in all four lobes and in both hemispheres.

In time, these nerve networks can stimulate faster thinking and offer greater protection against the worst effects of cognitive decline.

Another advantage of reading books is that it increases the sensitivity and emotional intelligence. A 2013 study revealed that the participants who read only the first part, or chapter, of the account showed a remarkable increase in sensitivity a week later, while news readers showed a decline.

These findings may seem insignificant, but they are not socialized means such as empathy and emotional intelligence can lead to stronger (and more positive) human interaction, which reduces stress levels, which have shown to help you live longer and healthier.

This does not mean that online magazines, newspapers, and articles are not useful! Reading everything that fills your mind and exposes you to new words, expressions, and facts certainly brings mental benefits.

New research shows that a large dictionary can lead to a more flexible mind and a more complete fuel for what scientists call a cognitive reserve. One way to think about that reserve is your brain's ability to adapt to damage.

Just as your blood cells will clot in order to heal a cut in your knee, so cognitive reserves help brain cells find new mental ways around areas damaged by strokes, fragility, and other forms of decay.

How does a recognition develop? This is good news for readers of reading and speaking. The dictionary is highly resistant to aging, and wealth, according to researchers at the Spanish University of Santiago de Compostela, can significantly delay the appearance of mental decline.

When the research team analysed the results of the dictionary test of more than 300 50-year-old volunteers, they found that the lowest score participants were three to four times more endangered by cognitive decline than participants with higher scores.

Learning foreign words also offers important cognitive nutrients. In fact, research shows that learning something new, such as playing an instrument or speaking another language, is one of the best things you can do for your brain at any time.

A 2013 neurological study found that patients who spoke two or more languages carried out damages an average of 4.5 years later than one-language patients. And a brain that learns a second language earlier in life is likely to see more benefits than a student who learns later in life.

“The existence of the foundations of these linguistic ties could delay the demination,” said Thomas Buck of the University of Edinburgh.
